John 3:16

I came in the house on Sunday after church, and my wife who was home sick told me 1 of our children had called and were going to be a grandparents YAHOO. The kids didn’t want anyone to know until they had been to a doctor and had it confirmed. I talked to them last night and it’s been confirmed. We’re still praying that everything goes well and the baby is safe and well and so is Mom. For the last couple of days I’ve held my excitement in check until they knew for sure. Now that we know WOW, I have a thousand thoughts going through my head, dreaming of seeing the baby for the first time. Skiing with them, playing football, everything that can be done will be done. I think about passing on the legacy of our families and the importance of having a relationship with God. I hope I can do as good a job for my grandchildren as my grandparents did for me. Even though I didn’t meet my grandparents until I was in third grade (my dad was in the service and we were overseas and on the opposite end of the nation) my grandparents did a great job of passing on the example of following God.

When Mary Jesus’s mother found out she was pregnant she want to see her cousin Elizabeth who was pregnant also. When Mary walked in the door and Elizabeth heard that Mary was pregnant. Elizabeth’s baby jumped in her womb. You can read about it in Luke chapter 1 verse 39 – 45. The baby in Elizabeth’s womb was John the Baptist. His mission in life went on to be, to prepare the way for Jesus who would come later.

I don’t have a baby in my belly, even though it looks like it. I am stoked and I have a different purpose in my life. I need to do try and Love all my grandchildren with the Love that Christ showed for us. He sent his only begotten son that who ever believes in him shall not perish, but will have everlasting life John 3:16.
